We're working on new rules right now, sit tight if you're waiting to join - we'll open a new thread shortly :)


This thread was opened to introduce the group Backlog Assassins Extraordinaire, or BLAEO for short. This is what we do:

  • Play our backlog-games [mostly focusing on SG wins first]
  • Post about our progress in dedicated threads and here on SG on our brand-new website O.O (thanks to mandrill!)
  • Possibly sometimes share giveaways (this is not a GA group, there are no ratio requirements or any expectations of GAs)
  • Play games based on monthly themes

What you need to have if you'd like to join us:

  • An SG account
  • A Steam account with unfinished games (i.e., a Steam backlog)
  • A willingness to work on your backlog

Requirement to stay in the group:
Please set up your backlog plan in your profile on our website and sort your games there, or post your progress thread in our Steam forums sometime within 3 weeks of joining - otherwise we may think you're not serious about your backlog and may ask you to leave the group ^^
Reply to this post if you'd like to join. Feel free to ask questions about the group here as well - I can't promise any answers, but I'll do my best.

We recently started excluding inactive members (no posts or organizing their profiles on the website since joining 4 weeks ago or earlier). If you feel we've made mistake excluding you, please post here with your reason(s) or contact us in the group's chat.

Hi there! I'm here to remind you that you've been in BLAEO for 4 weeks now and haven't shown any signs of activity. We have an awesome website where you can organize your Steam backlog and post about your progress. (Click here for a neat guide to get started.)
If you haven't shown any interest in being part of and participating in the group by at least

  • organizing your backlog on the website and/or
  • posting your backlog strategy in your website profile and/or
  • (posting a thread on our Steam forum)

by 26. April, we will have to let you go from the group.

Our site is still pretty new and some of the features steamchecklist mentions aren't even implemented yet, BUT we have custom tags/lists and an awesome activity feed, so it's more community oriented, which might help with motivation ;)
So, sent you an invite to try things out, I hope you like it :)

I have an extremely small backlog of about 400-500 games. I'd like to finish almost all of them, unless they really are bad.
Usually I go through my backlog on my stream. :)

Backlog on STEAM is not huge. I have a 61% completion rate, which I like to think is good. Could always be better.

If I add all my consoles (PS3, PS4, PS Vita) + Origin/GOG, etc., then the end is truly nowhere to be seen.

My overall backlog feels like a bottomless pit. No end in sight.

Definitely willing to join.

I'd say everything over 50% is pretty awesome, so in my book you're doing great :D (on Steam - I know how you feel youbt consoles, there was a Nintendo sale here a couple of years ago, everything 50% off, so I bought like 20 new games, started with Animal Crossing and haven't even touched most of the rest XD)
Oh, and invited, of course ^^

I like what you guys are doing. The site looks cool from what I can see without being a member. I'd like to join in on the fun. I'm working on my backlogs for pc, PS4, ps3, and Wii U. I use a random picker for my pc games right now.

As a strategic backlog attacker (trying to complete the good short games first so I'd be motivated), and maybe such a group would be more motivating, I'd like to join...

I try to get the shorter ones out of the way as well, and I actually found a few ones through the group (i.e., games I already had, but didn't realize they were short until someone posted about them). Invited you :)

I'd like to join, don't know how often a game would get completed as I study also but I have a huge backlog (bundles) and for now focus on games I bought that I want to play.

Hello group, My name is Pat and I have a bundle buying addiction with a backlog of 60+ games. Each month I try to tackle at least 6 backlog games with the help of random.org. I'd love to join this group and share the struggles fighting a ever growing backlog. It may be a losing battle but at least its a fun one.

Well I've been doing this alone for some time, joining a group and sharing wouldn't harm.
Count me in. I'm trying to finish Dead Space 2 this week, I'll jump to Bioshock after that.

Interesting, I do have a substantial backlog, and I will have the opportunity to chip away at it over the summer. I kind've already have a system for finishing my games though. I'll have to think about it. ;)
